LONDON, July 2S.-An American gentle
man who has arrived here from East Saxony
says that the Colorado beetle has fairly
gained foothold at last, despite the efforts
which the German government has used for
the last decade to keep the dreaded pest from
its domain, In previous years heroic meas
ures were used. In fields where the beetle
had made its appearance the crops were ap-
praised, to I've afterward paid for by the gov
ernrnent, the vines were pulled together,
drenched with petroleum and destroyed by
fire The seaports were made objects of es-
pecial precaution, and the mails were care
fully watched as persons in America fire.
quently sent TO friends or relatives specimens
of the ten lmed-and seemingly ten
lived-insects as curiosities. In the
face of all these efforts to keep him out,
however the insect has eluded the embargo
and taken up his residence in Germany, and
will probably make his way to the shores OF
the Mediterranean aud Caspian seas, In
some parts of Germany he has totally de

LONDON, July 23-A deputation of work
men who called upon Lord Salisbury Friday to
demand protection for British commercial
interests against the system observed by Ger
tain foreign countries of comforting bounties
and subsidies, was the most representative
body of genuine workmen that ever APP
preached the English prime minister on a
similar errand, or indeed upon any pretext,
and the premier was not slow to recognize
the fact The deputation was received with
the utmost consideration, and the undoubted
importance OF their mission was given due
attention.
In replying to the statement of grievances
presented by the deputation, Lord Salisbury
entered into the spirit of indignation mani

plainest possible manner his thorough appre

workmen are subjected by the 'pernicious
system i'll vogue abroad, and against which
there are now no legitimate retaliatory meas

indignation of British workmen against al
alleged Legitimate foreign policy, Lord Sails
